"This immortal heaven is really cruel enough, and it actually uses living people to sacrifice, tsk......"

Da Kui whispered, and Ansari said lightly: "Originally, it was supposed to be sacrificed by animals, usually pigs, cows, and sheep, but this kind of place, do you think you can bring it over?" ”

I understand what he means, the big animals to be sacrificed cannot be brought into this cave, not to mention the chain bridge in the abyss, even people are terrified when they come over, and they are cautious, if they bring animals to sacrifice, it is estimated that they can only bring some chickens and ducks.

It's just that this living human sacrifice feels terrible when you think about it, especially those people must have come by themselves at the beginning, but when they got here, their fate was dissected and skinned for sacrifice, which was really cruel.

Ansari had already walked to the altar, and we followed, and the altar was flanked by stone steps, and the walls were carved with many graphic symbols, some of which looked like human shapes, some of which looked like flying birds, and some of which were completely irregular shapes, and we could not recognize what they were.

Ansari said that these figures should represent all creatures on the earth, the people who live together under the Immortal Heaven, and that the stone steps have a total of nine steps, symbolizing the Nine Heavens, and there is no doubt that this should be the altar of worship to the Immortal Heaven.

The area of this altar is not very large, I walked up with Lao Pan and Ansari, and the others observed the situation below, and when we walked to the altar, we found that it was empty, only a square stone slab in the middle of the ground, slightly protruding, and carved with strange patterns, and other than that, there was nothing else.

Old Pan and Ansari squatted down and observed the patterns, but the slate looked black, and seemed to be covered with a layer of black substance, and I was curious, and reached out and carefully touched the iron plate, and my hands were covered with dust, and some black granular things, which looked like cinders.

I put my hand under my nose and sniffed it, and said strangely, "What is this?" ”

Lao Pan glanced at it and said, "Don't move, every place here may be weird." ”

I honestly retracted my hand, silent, and watched the two of them use their flashlights on the stone slab, and constantly look around, I quietly pinched the cinder-like thing with my fingers, and found that after rubbing it, it became a little delicate.

Still curious, I shone a flashlight on the slate, which was covered with a thick layer of this thing, so that the patterns and symbols looked a little blurry.

"What kind of sacrifice is this sacrifice to the sky?" I asked again, but no one answered me, and Ansari didn't seem to find anything on the slab, and he stood up, walked over to the stone railing behind the altar, and looked up at the pillar that was connected to the altar thoughtfully.

This stone pillar is different from the others, I didn't care about it just now, but when I looked up, I found that this stone pillar was actually extremely high, as if it reached the sky and the earth, reaching the dome. There was no human head and a long string of fragments to be sacrificed on it, and it looked a little bare, with countless dark lines carved into the stone pillars.

"Pillar of Heaven, Pillar of Heaven......" Ansari stared at the stone pillar, muttering in a low voice, and suddenly, he sighed softly, his eyes were fixed on the stone pillar, and the flashlight shone up, and said, "There seems to be someone up there." ”

Lao Pan and I looked up at the first time, and Ansari's flashlight stayed at a very high place on the stone pillar, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have noticed that there was indeed a person lying on it.

We were taken aback, and Pan took out the gun casually, but we looked closely again, and found that the man was charred all over his body, motionless, and his posture remained as if he was climbing upward, as if he had long since died.

We looked at it a little more and finally confirmed that it was a dead man.

But a few questions resurfaced in my mind, this person was lying on a stone pillar, at least seven or eight meters above the ground, how did he go up? Why did he die on that stone pillar? And it seems a little puzzling that he still kept his position after he died, and he didn't even fall down.

I glanced at them, and the two of them were also puzzled, probably similar to what I thought.

"There's a dead man lying on top of the pillar of heaven, I said, is this trying to go to heaven?" I casually made a joke, and Lao Pan frowned and guessed: "It's not up to heaven, but someone deliberately tied him to it?" But what's the point? ”

"No one tied him to it, he should have climbed up on his own." Ansari said, "There are traces of trampling on this stone pillar, and judging by his posture, he should have wanted to climb to the top, but he was still a few meters away from the end, and somehow he died suddenly." ”

He observed very carefully, I looked at the corpse, and wondered: "Then you say, how did he die, and he still held the stone pillar and didn't fall down when he died, is he a gecko?" ”

"I don't know."

Ansari shrugged his shoulders and suddenly made a joke: "Maybe he has a heart attack." ”

But this joke is not funny at all, I walked to the stone pillar, looked at it carefully, and sure enough, as he said, there were very vague traces on it, as if something had climbed up and left it, but on this stone pillar, there was also a black object similar to cinder on the stone slab, which covered the whole stone pillar.

I reached out and touched the stone pillar, rubbed it with my fingers, and felt the same feeling as before, and I carefully scraped a small piece of this thing from it with my fingernails, shone it with a flashlight, rubbed it a few times, and looked up at them and said, "It looks like blood." ”

"Blood?" Lao Pan also walked over, looked at the stone pillar, and I continued: "That's right, this is definitely blood, I have seen it in the past, on this stone pillar, and on that stone slab, someone should have poured a lot of blood, and it was already full. ”

Ansari looked calm and said, "This is normal, the sacrificial ritual here must be different from ordinary sacrifices, I estimate that this blood should be on these people." ”

He said and pointed to the stone pillars next to him, I didn't dare to look at them, and said that these people died greatly, and the bits and pieces on their bodies were not wasted, and even the blood was used, but it seemed that I didn't see their bones?

We were all silent, the atmosphere was a little tense for a while, I looked at the corpse for a while, and there was nothing else unusual, but just as I was about to withdraw my gaze, I suddenly remembered something, and my heart moved, and blurted out: "No, if this person died on it first and didn't fall, it's a bit incredible." But what if he climbed up after he died? ”

The two of them changed their faces slightly at the same time, and looked at each other, this thing is not impossible, in this strange place, we have seen the dried corpses that jumped out of the river, we have seen countless yin spirits, we have seen the red-haired mandrill turned into zombies, if there is a corpse here that can walk and climb pillars, then I am not surprised at all.

Several flashlights gathered on the corpse again, but we looked at it for a while, and found no signs of the corpse moving, Ansari looked at me and said, "You think too much, the marks on this stone pillar seem to be very blurred, indicating that this person has been dead on it for many years, and he can't have just climbed up." ”

I also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that I scared the dry corpse, this place is so weird." Lao Pan, think about it, what are we going to do here, and leave as soon as we get it ready. ”

As we spoke, we took the flashlight back from the stone pillar, and Lao Pan thought for a while and said, "According to Lu Feng's notes, the key point here seems to be to open a place, and there will definitely be some mechanism, but he didn't succeed." ”

"Organs? Then let's hurry up and find the mechanism. I looked around, stared at the slate, and said, "Now it looks like this thing is a little weird, you say, could this be some kind of mechanism?" ”

Lao Pan frowned and said, "It's very possible, but this thing has been covered in blood, and I can't see anything clearly." Zhang Ye, bring a knife and scrape off the blood stains on this......"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look under the altar, but he was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, and I was startled as I followed his gaze.

I saw that under the altar, Zhang Ye and Da Kui were gone.
